Meeting Description:

The language sciences increasingly have in common their adoption of rational
probabilistic approaches, such as Bayesian, Information Theoretic, and Game
Theoretic frameworks. The goal of this conference is to bring together speech
and language researchers whose scientific contributions reflect the full
diversity of disciplines and methodologies — from speech to discourse, on-line
processing to corpus-based investigation, through to language change and
evolution — that have benefited from, and share, such rational explanations.


Call for Papers:

Conference on Rational Approaches in Language Science (RAILS)

24-26 October, 2019
Saarbruecken, Germany

The language sciences increasingly have in common their adoption of rational
probabilistic approaches, such as Bayesian, Information Theoretic, and Game
Theoretic frameworks. The goal of this conference is to bring together speech
and language researchers whose scientific contributions reflect  the full
diversity of disciplines and methodologies — from speech to discourse, on-line
processing to corpus-based investigation, through to language change and
evolution — that have benefited from, and share, such rational explanations.

Keynote Speakers:

- Gerhard Jaeger, Tuebingen University
- Gina Kuperberg, Tufts University
- Hannah Rohde, University of Edinburgh
- Rory Turnbull, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

We therefore seek submissions from across the language sciences — including
speech science, theoretical linguistics, empirical linguistics,
psycholinguistics and neuroscience, computational linguistics, as well as
language development, change and evolution — which apply rational
probabilistic explanations to linguistic phenomena, or bring novel
experimental findings to bear on such accounts.

Submissions in the form of 400 word abstracts are to be submitted
electronically:

Submissions open: 1 May
Submissions due: 1 June
Notification of acceptance: 1 July
Conference: October 24-26

Submission will be considered for either oral or poster presentation. More
details on the submission format and procedure will be available soon from the
conference web-page: rails.sfb1102.uni-saarland.de

Scientific and financial support for this conference comes from the 
Collaborative Research Center SFB1102 “Information Density and Linguistic
Encoding”: sfb1102.uni-saarland.de
